(Tournament size subject to increase with increased participation) After registration, teams will be matched and play in a best-of-3 series. Once all games have been completed, a winners and losers bracket will be formed. Both brackets will be single elimination. teams will be divided into two brackets based upon availability. Once brackets are made, teams will play one game. The winning team moves on. The last teams standing in both brackets will face off in the championship match. The teams that lost the final match in their brackets will compete for 3rd place. These matches will be a best-of-3 series. |Maps| The following maps will be used in this tournament: Batford's Ballroom Celestial Dojo Citadel Host Citadel Irrigation Chamber Haunted Crypt |Team Composition| Any team composition is allowed as long as it follows this rule: A party may not have two characters with the exact same race and class. This means that you can't have 2 elf warriors or 2 dwarf wizards in your party. If you have any questions about this rule, please ask on this thread. |Equipment| The only restriction for this tournament is each character is limited to 1 legendary piece of equipment. Each character may have up to two (2) legendary items. Wizards are allowed one (1) extra legendary Arcane Item. Restrictions on equipment are as follows: Legendary items with 6 copies of the same card are banned Ex. Vibrant Pain or Blue Destruction Only one (1) of any 'Bleneth' item is allowed per character Searing Pain is banned Skull Of Savage Iljin is banned Having three (3) of any epic item is not allowed Using identical legendary items is not allowed Exceptions to the legendary rule: Legendary martial skills, divine armors, and robes do not count towards the limit Hu La Houp's Vicious Circle does not count towards the limit Thank you @Deepweed for the excellent suggestion concerning legendary items! - Team registrations will not be considered complete without the loadouts (and up to 3 "side deck" items) of each character. How to copy your loadout: Spoiler: Copying your loadout 1. Go to multiplayer Keep. 2. Load your tournament build. 3. Hit f1 twice to open the console. 4. Type "partyanddecksbbcode" and hit enter. This copies your build to your clipboard. 5. In a private message to me, just paste and send. Please include your team name and other teammates in your PM. So what is this "side deck" thing? In between games, teams will have the opportunity to change their loadouts. However, only items in the "side deck" can be substituted. In other words, if you want to be able to make slight changes to your loadout, you better include a side deck. |Matches| All players and referees should be present in the lobby 10 minutes before the match's scheduled time. After party leaders have invited their teammates, the first map will be revealed. Once both teams have indicated they are ready, party leader A will invite party leader B to a casual game, using the selected map. Once the match starts, the referee will watch and ensure the rules are followed. After each game, teams will be given 5 minutes to make any changes as they deem fit. The next map will be revealed once both teams have indicated they are ready. The referee may record the match at their own discretion. |Rough Timeline| I reserve the right to make changes to this timeline as necessary. That means if one part is completed early, I will more than likely move the rest of the dates up. Complete team registration by 1/20 Post first match-ups by 1/23 Complete first matches by 2/3 Post first round bracket match-ups by 2/6 Complete first round bracket matches by 2/17 Post second round bracket match-ups by 2/20 Complete second round bracket matches by 2/28 Post final match-ups by 3/2 Finish tournament by 3/9 If the scheduled time does not work for you, please let me know on this thread sooner rather than later. I will do my best to find a time that works for you, but do not expect miracles if you let me know 2 hours before the scheduled time. |Other rules| All game and chat rules apply. Please respect the referees and their decisions. They are there to help this tournament run as smoothly as possible. If you are spectating a match, please do not discuss the game in game chat. It can be distracting as well as point out something that one team may have overlooked. |Prizes| If for some strange reason simply playing in this tournament isn't prize enough for you, Blue Manchu has graciously agreed to give out the following: 1 magnificent chest for participation 4th place: 1 bonus epic chest 3rd place: 2 bonus epic chests 2nd place: 80 pizza 1st place: 150 pizza Note: The prize pool is subject to increase with more participation.

Personally, I have no recording software nor the interest in getting any. However, if you wish to write lores for these battles, I have no problems. Again, as a reminder, please use this thread for any discussions. The only thing that should be posted here should be signups.

@Han Lee Thanks for the registration! Your team has been added under the |Registered Teams| section. There's about 1 week left for registration! If you're looking for teammates, there are people forming teams here!
@yowg8ynwa Does that mean your team is available from 6:00 Saturday to 0:00 Sunday? Also, please PM me your team's loadouts (and side decks, if you plan on using those). I cannot consider your registration complete until I have them.
